The Armstrong Law Firm Announces Conference Call Regarding Auto Manufacturer Lawsuit

An employee of a major car manufacturer is suing her employer for allowing a significant number of vehicles with serious defects to pass inspection by falsifying audit reports, which would require repair prior to shipment. According to the Plaintiff, these cars were shipped to dealers—and ultimately to consumers across the country who didn’t know the vehicles they received didn’t meet the standards endorsed by the manufacturer. The Plaintiff in this case has worked for the manufacturer for 23 years. She is a highly trained and credentialed Certified Auditor who oversaw quality control for the cars and trucks made in the United States. She describes her job as being the “eyes of the consumer,” ensuring that vehicles purchased from her manufacturing facility were safe and free from defects.

According to the lawsuit, the General Manager instructed her managers to alter her audit reports in order to lower the daily Defect Per Vehicle rate. In 2005, the report alterations increased and the manufacturer’s management routinely downgraded and deleted significant defects from the Plaintiff audit reports before sending the automobiles to market.

Her audits reported approximately 9-15 defects per vehicle consistently from 2005-2007, but her employer routinely disregarded her findings. The Plaintiff asserts that she repeatedly tried to warn the manufacturer both verbally and in writing that not fixing the defects was dangerous, but they responded by engaging in a targeted campaign of retaliation against her.

According to the Plaintiff, the manufacturer has disregarded aspects of its purported “core” values in its campaign to retaliate, harass and discriminate against one of its most loyal and hardworking employees who was diligently doing her job, which was protecting the lives of individuals and families that purchased cars manufactured under her careful eye. “By having the strength and courage to file this lawsuit after everything her employer put her through, the Plaintiff seeks to send a message to all car manufacturers that they cannot give higher priority to increased profits for its officers and executives at the expense of hard-working American consumers and families nationwide,” said her San Francisco employment attorney Kelly Armstrong.
